CHILDREN ON AN EXCURSION.

Annual Picnic of English Hall az the
 ConsamOnd Lakes - The Sunday
 School Scholars Have a Fine Time
 and the Cider Ones Enjoy the Event
 None the Less.
 Yesterday was held the annual picDic and excursion of the English Hall Sunday school It was held at the Congamond lakes and all who went there had to get to the Union depot by o'clock.
 There were two hundred children and as many more grown people who swarmed the depot and made matters lively for every body. The picnic was held at High Rock last year, but this year it was decided to take differ ent trip.
 It took five passenger cars to carry the picnickers to their point of destination. Rev.
 John c. Collins, the superintendent of the school, helped them to get there all the quicker by sitting in the engine beside En- gineer Gates for time. MT. Collins acted first in the capacity of conductor of the train.
 The party arrived at the lake at 10 o'clock Then the real fun began. The children romped and played to their hearts, content The little steamers on the lake were running I and many of the excursionists availed them l selves of the opportunity to take four mile ride out upon the beautiful lake for ten cents Various games were played and about noon there was slight shower, which did not af- feet the good time all were having. Dinner was served and all ate heartily. l The picnic was under the supervision of Rev. John c. Collins. In his work he had as assistants Assistant Superintendent Cleve. land, Mrs A. s. Robbins, J. B. Porter, w. B. Allis, G. W. Clark and Boon lit. The latter named person is Siamese, and he is one of the only three of his race who are in this country.
 It was a snccess in in every particular, and Mr. Collins and his assistants worked very children cost about $200. There was 6 de- Camp, F. E. Morgan, Frank Stevens, Joseph carried free. Their parents paid forty cents for the round trip, while the general public was obliged to pay sixty cents.
 Returning the train left at 4:3O o'clock. Each one of the children was loaded down with pond lilies. One man waded into the lake up to his waist and picked 400 of them. MT. Collins says he should think that they must have got million" of them. The party arrived at the Union depot about 6:30. At the doors of the cars were stationed young men to see that the smaller children did not get out when the train stopped at the different stations. Tnese youths were August Schinzel, George Finis, Fergus Smith, Edward Mayer, Theodore Hoffmeister, Frank Corves. The teachers of the Sunday school who went along were Miss Edith Low ell, Miss Warner and Miss Belle Osborn.

&SOO Reward.

IT you suffer from dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges falling from the head into the throat, some times profuse, watery and acrid, at others thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid; if the eyes are weak, watery and infamed; and there is ringing in the ears, deafness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive matter, to- gether with scabs from ulcers; the voice be- ing changed and having 8 nasal twang; the breath offensive; smell and taste impaired; experience sensation of dizziness, with mental depression, a hacking cough and gen. eral debility, then you are suffering from chronic nasal catarrh. Only few of the above-named symptoms are likely to be present in any one case at one time, or in one stage of the disease. Thousands of cases annually, without n4anifesting half of the above symptoms, result in consumption and end in the grave. No disease is so common, more deceptive and dangerous, less under stood or more unsuccessfully treated by phy- sicians. The manufacturers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer, in good faith, $500 reward for a case of catarrh which they can not cure. The Remedy is sold by druggists at only 30 cents.

Some years ago a distinguished lady in Sweden had the misfortune to lose an arm
 near the shoulder. Substitutes were pro- cured for her from the most celebrated arti- fcial limb makers in Europe, but none gave the desired satisfaction. On learning to
 what perfection artificial limbs were made in this country, she commissioned Swedish gentleman of Philadelphia to procure for her the best substitute for the lost member that could be obtained in this country. After thorough investigation of the artificial limbs by the different makers throughout the coun- try, and under the advice of several distin- guished surgeons, this gentleman selected MT. George B. Hoggson, the artificial limb manufacturer of this city, as the one above all others most likely to fill the requirements of his important trust. The arm has just been completed and it looks and works like thing of life. Neither time nor expense were considered in it's construction, and without doubt it is the nearest approach to an natur- al arm that has ever been constructed by the hands of man. It is certainly high compli-
 ment paid to the maker of this ingenious piece of mechanism to be thus selected out of so many firms in this country in the same line of business. The arm will be expressed to it's destination in a few days

HARTFORD BTCYoLISTs.

Lantern Parade-BIcycIe Tournament. The Hartford Wheel club will give a Ian tern parade on Tuesday evening next, the night before the races. Tne illumination will consist of Chinese lanterns fixed to vari- ous parts of the wheels ridden by the bicy-
 clists. A lantern parade has never been
 given in Hartford, and it will be not only a novelty but an attractive sight. One was
 given in New Haven a few weeks ago which
 was brilliant success. It is probable that
 members of the New Britain, Meriden, Mid
 dletown, East Hartford, New Haven and Waterbury clubs will take part in the Hart ford parade. Besides having illuminated wheels many of she riders will have fancy costumes. The committee having the parade
 in charge consists of H. H. Chapman, chair-
 man; Rhodes, Fenton, R. P. Judson. The entries for the tournament already re- ceived indicate that there will be one of the
 greatest days racing ever seen at Charter

A Word About Catarrh.

Ut is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semiiuid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats into the very vitals, and renders lifelbutEa 1ong-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy iaS the faculty of smell taintng the breath, and by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as saults the membranous lining and envelops the bones, eating through the delicate coats and caus ing inflammation, sioughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the mated sufferings, leading to fatal termination. ternal administration has never failed; even when the disease has made frghtful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, spzel and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out"
